Jeremy Utley - The Pigsty, The Church, and The Bridal Chamber
Jeremy Utley · Jan 30, 2018 · 15m
The speaker outlines three areas—the pigsty, the church, and the bridal chamber—that can prevent a person from experiencing God's love. He argues that true fatherhood is experienced only when one willfully separates from sin (the pigsty), that religious activity cannot replace constant righteousness (the church), and that even when seemingly close to God, one must be ready to move out of complacency (the bridal chamber).

Zac Poonen · Jan 21, 2018 · 1h 54m
The message centers on the profound lesson from Matthew 18 regarding the desire to be great, contrasting the worldly desire for recognition within the church with the humility of a little child. The speaker urges the congregation to meditate on the simple thoughts of a baby to achieve spiritual growth, while also balancing this with the maturity required for adult responsibilities within the church.

Four Every-Day Resolutions - Santosh Poonen - January 7, 2018
Santosh Poonen · Jan 16, 2018 · 57m
The speaker urges the congregation to adopt 'today resolutions' rather than traditional New Year's resolutions, arguing that resolutions set for an entire year are set up for failure. Drawing from scripture, he emphasizes that 'today is the day of salvation' and that believers should make commitments they can practice in the present moment. He suggests that by living day-by-day, mirroring God's creation process, believers can experience God's work continuously throughout the year.

Jeremy Utley - Defeating the next giant
Jeremy Utley · Jan 15, 2018 · 19m
The central message is that manifesting the life of Christ requires a constant, willful commitment to taking up one's cross daily, which means being continually delivered over to death for Jesus' sake. The speaker draws a parallel between the Israelites conquering the Promised Land and believers overcoming sin and worldly desires. He advises that one's attitude toward the very next 'giant' in life is the best indicator of one's overall readiness to conquer all remaining struggles.

Jeremy Utley - Obedience And Expectation
Jeremy Utley · Jan 9, 2018 · 15m
The central message is that Christian progress requires being both completely obedient and completely unsatisfied with current blessings. Drawing from Acts 13, the speaker emphasizes that spiritual advancement happens when believers are diligently ministering to the Lord and fasting. This means remaining obedient to what has been taught while maintaining a deep, eager longing for God's further leading, exemplified by the servant leading by the Spirit.

Five Marks Of Spiritual Growth - Sunil Poonen
Sunil Poonen · Jan 3, 2018 · 54m
The speaker outlines five marks of spiritual growth, emphasizing that a true relationship with God must be constant, not just something used during difficult times. He stresses that having God on the throne means nothing—no idol, whether subtle or conscious—can take God's rightful place in one's heart. True worship, according to scripture, involves presenting one's entire life as a living sacrifice, not merely singing songs for a set period.

The Church Characterized By Love - Santosh Poonen - December 24, 2017
Santosh Poonen · Dec 25, 2017 · 38m
The central message is that the defining characteristic of the Church must be its mission to save those who are lost, encompassing both those outside the faith and those who have backslid within it. The speaker warns against allowing the focus on personal piety, discipleship, and fellowship to become self-centered, urging the congregation to maintain the passion and burden that drove Jesus to leave heaven for humanity. Ultimately, every believer, regardless of their current comfort level, is a missionary in their immediate surroundings.

Jeremy Utley · Dec 21, 2017 · 26m
The central message is that true discipleship is not defined by correct profession or belief, but by one's willingness to remain devoted to Jesus even when his teachings or actions are difficult or offensive. The speaker uses the example of the disciples in John 6 and John the Baptist's interaction with Jesus to illustrate that knowing Jesus means following Him through challenging circumstances, rather than just making a verbal declaration of faith.

"Imitate Me As I Imitate My Father" - Santosh Poonen - December 10, 2017
Santosh Poonen · Dec 11, 2017 · 45m
The speaker emphasizes that sin fundamentally stems from a lack of heavenly perspective, drawing strength from promises like Revelation 3:21. He focuses heavily on Matthew 18, arguing that children represent the opposite of worldly values like greatness or wealth, and that becoming like a child—humble and dependent—is essential for entering the Kingdom of Heaven. Furthermore, he stresses the extreme seriousness of adults modeling Christ's life, warning that actions that cause children to stumble carry severe spiritual consequences.

CFC Messages · Dec 4, 2017 · 38m
The central message is that true greatness in the Kingdom of Heaven is achieved not through works or status, but through profound humility, exemplified by a little child or infant. Jesus taught that one must humble oneself completely, mirroring the dependence of a child on the Father. This humility is so vital that God gives grace to the humble, and God reveals divine truth to those who are humble rather than to the proud.

The speaker distinguishes between worldly 'friendship' and divine 'fellowship,' arguing that true fellowship is a gift of the New Covenant, not merely a human connection. He contrasts the Old Covenant's focus on forgiveness of sins with the New Covenant's promise of salvation from sin and the indwelling of God's law through the Holy Spirit. Ultimately, he emphasizes that experiencing the power of the Holy Spirit, rather than just intellectual knowledge, is necessary for discipleship.

The speaker uses the analogy of parenting and sports training to illustrate that true growth requires focusing intensely on one or two core lessons at a time, rather than trying to learn everything at once. He applies this principle to his relationship with God, warning against the modern obsession with novelty and new stimuli. Instead, he urges listeners to deeply internalize and establish themselves in the truths and teachings they have already received, as advised in Proverbs 4:20.
